Try loading the XML file, thus:
if (file_exists('./xml/yourdb.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('./xml/yourdb.xml');
} else {
exit('Failed to open yourdb.xml.');
}
Then assign the node data to variables and display in forms for editing
using PHP. Finally write back your XML file like this.
$xml->asXML('./xml/yourdb.xml');
Hope this is of some help.
